So, you've bought the land, got permission to destroy it with ski lifts and hotels and now you have to name the area with a catchy/useless/stupid marketing moniker: what would it be?
Now, if I were in such a position, I'd call my ski area 'Orgasmanski', a la 'Paradiski', etc.
Just about sums up the best aspects of our beloved sport, don't you think?
Over to you!

Obviously my dream ski resort would have only me and a few friends in it and no pistes. It would be cheaper (and much nicer) to run a helicopter than to build major lifts.
Why would I tell you what it is called - let alone give it a marketing name - anyone might read this . PM material only.

kevin mcclean, if the land you bought was Glencoe then you'd better rebrand as "Sh*t Creek".

Whatever the town is called.
Considering almost all the successful resorts all have pretty ordinary names, any "catchy" names will be ignored.

That's not how it works though, at least for resorts created ex-nihilo. A few examples:-
Le plateau des tovets -> Courchevel
Aval de Tignes -> Val d'Isere
La Morte -> Grande Serre

Ok, slight modification:
Considering most of the successful resorts have pretty ordinary names, any "catchy" names will be ignored.
Question is, did those resort that have "grand" names only become successful AFTER they change their names?
